I felt like doing a super dark eye, which I didn’t execute as well as I would have liked, but it’s just something so dramatic and fun, I couldn’t resist not taking photos!
I used Blacktrack fluidline all over lid, Carbon eyeshadow all over lid, Vex eyeshadow above crease and on brow, Feline kohl power on lower lash line, and Pink Opal pigment on lower lash line. I wore Don’t Be Shy blush with Sculpt sculpting powder to contour and Micro Pink beauty powder to highlight. I had Strawberry Blonde lipstick with Lull lipglass.

LOL! Thanks, Rebekah! I thought I’d throw in a silly one ;)

ooo, you look so cool. you’re like from a matrix movie. that pink opal pigment makes a difference even just at the lower lash line. kind of makes it a nice feminine smokey eye instead of the basic black and white bold strong smokey eye.
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Thank you! Haha! Yes, it’s amazing what a little whitish coloring can do to the look. Sometimes I use Shell CCB, which is pretty silvery white, and it’s nice, too.

Hi Christine! I notice you use the Sculpt and Shape all the time. What is this for? I looked it up on the MAC website to understand what it does and can’t quite get it. Where on your face do you use it? Maybe I should check it out. Thanks!
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Hey Shefali! They’re to contour the face – I use it to contour my cheeks and make them stand out a bit more :) There’s a tutorial on how to use them in the Tutorial – Face section!

BTW I see purple color umm in crease,did you use purple e/s or is that color be-coz of the blending? and if its eyeshadow what is the name? thanks
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Hey Moon! It’s because of the blending :) That’s Dark Edge eyeshadow!

OMG I must check out Strawberry Blonde lipstick with Lull lipglass next time I am at MAC. I adore the colors, so cute and pink :)
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
If you can get them, you should, but Strawberry Blonde is pretty old and it was LE :( N3 is close, though, actually!
Naomi

I love smokey eyes. The possibilities are endless. I looks great on you. MAC´s Carbon e/s it´s one of the best in the market.
You look Rock-n-Roll Gorgeous! =D
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Me too, Beda! Carbon is one of my favorite shadows!
Thanks!
Camilla
Saturday, January 12, 2008
beautiful!! i love all kinds of smokey eye but i never can find a really good black eye shadow … i got a few some more expensive some less and they all look bad on the eyelid i mean they are like kinda transparent and i cant use them too much cause then you know how it looks … anyway very beautiful make up, good job like always!!!
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Thanks, Camilla!! :) MAC Carbon is an amazing black, IMO!

black/grey looks and pink looks (like in the look before this one) really work great for you
Christine

Thank you, Bart :D
Gina
Saturday, January 12, 2008
can you recommend colors similar to don’t be shy, strawberry blonde, and lull that are a part of the permanent line/would work on darker skin like nc 35-37? I really like this look and would like to try and recreate it!
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Well Dressed is similar to Don’t Be Shy. N3 from N is close to Strawberry Blonde, and Sweetie is similar, though a bit cooler. Lull, well, I can’t really think of a dupe for :(
Mrs. Lynne
Saturday, January 12, 2008
I think it was executed quite well Christine! And love the last photo, you silly girl you!!

You are gorgeous? What is your ethnicity? Filipino…mixed with something Latin?? Just fyi…I am :) What kind of brush do you use to put eyeshadown on the lower eyelash area?
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Thank you! I’m half Vietnamese, quarter German, and a quarter Swiss :)
I used the 219 for that!

do you think a fair skinned girl like me (with cool undertones) could pull this look off?
Christine
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Thank you!! Yes, I do, I really do :)
Tonee
Saturday, January 12, 2008
Love the smoky eye – especially the light pinkish/purple effect of Vex on the brow and that lipstick looks great on you :)
Christine

Virginia
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Best look ever!!! :-o i´m in love with it!! I´ll try to do the same look but i will use existencial paint with dark sould pigment and softwash grey piggie.
I love the lips, are Strawberry Blonde lipstick and Lull lipglass available right now? If they aren´t, which colours could replace them?
Thanks in advance
Christine
Monday, January 14, 2008
Thank you, Virginia!! I think it’ll turn out great with the products you listed!
They were both limited edition, so I doubt either are available (especially Strawberry Blonde). I would suggest Sweetie lipstick as a permanent color (though Strawberry Blonde is a warmer, brighter medium pink) with Decorative lustreglass. Lull is still available on the US MAC site, though.
Virginia

strawberry blonde is similar to n3? now im even MORE EXCITED to get it lol! it’s coming tomorrroowwww the anticipation is killing me!!!
Virginia
Monday, January 14, 2008
In Spain we don´t have The originals collection yet, so imaging how anxious i am!!
Christine
Monday, January 14, 2008
It’s close! Strawberry Blonde is a bit brighter with peachy undertones, but I think N3 is a good dupe for it, especially with how it looks in this particular look!

The Pink Opal pigment on your lower lashline adds just enough glam to this dark look. Great job!!

i love the way this has a hint of pink… how would you use the pink opal pigment for a daytime look?
Christine
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Thanks, Laura :) I’d use it all over the lid and use it with pinks or purples for the day time.

Wednesday, February 6, 2008
i tried these smoky eyes with hue lipstick and tenderling blusher … cant seem to find the dont be shy blush anywhere … tenderling is so nice with this look doe its nice or subtle … or even lillicent creme blush for a softer look.any other options for lips and cheeks for dis look????
Christine
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Hey EMW! Hue lipstick is a great idea. You could try Well Dressed blush instead of Don’t Be Shy.
emw
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
or underage lipglass mite be nice with it … hmmmm.
Christine
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Yes, that’s not a bad idea, either. Really, any nude lip will work!
